House rejects proposal to restrict NSA program

(CNN) - The House Wednesday narrowly defeated a proposal to sharply restrict the NSA’s phone surveillance program exposed by Edward Snowden.

A coalition of libertarian, liberal and conservative lawmakers had pushed for curbs on the blanket collection of phone records, arguing the program was too broad and intrusive. The vote, on an amendment to a defense spending bill, failed 205 to 217.
